Forest of Dean

[MPJ]

Can anyone recommend a good 30 miler in Forest of Dean? (.GPX)
Currently scanning OSMaps and Komoot but would be great to get a recommendation from someone that rides there regularly.

To be fair if you just park at the cycle centre and go from there. Us locals will always point the way to some nice tracks

What sort of riding are you looking for?

Nothing too hardcore, 3 of us try and get out of local Chilterns area once/twice a year, all early fifties, certainly not gym bunnies and will want to have a beer or three at the end of the day.
Want to do probably Forest of Dean day one and maybe another 30 miler in Cotswold area day 2 then home.
Hope that gives you a picture of where we are on the EMTB ladder.
Having said that we are the stupid type 50 something's so will happily launch ourselves off and into things we probably shouldn't.

Pretty much all the stuff I know in FoD is winch and plummet type rides but I'm happy to send you a few gpx files.

I feel like a fish on the Doomanic hook!
Yes please!

Can always send the other two down first for a reccy??

here is a 57 ker from my buddy. he is actually a guide and although he is 65 and rides an acoustic, will still wear you out.

Thanks for the files guys, really appreciate it

That’s a beast!

That’s a beast!

it is. and yet the 65 yo rides it on his acoustic bike. I've ridden large parts of it, but not done it all in one go yet. It's the reason I bought the inverter - to have a mini charge mid ride.
